Abstract

In this study, the effect of potential and deposition times on the electrochemical, structural, morphological and optical properties of CdS films obtained by electrodeposition was investigated. The results obtained during the different characterizations carried out show that the films present different phases with the presence of the same CdS composition. Electrochemical characterization by cyclic voltammetry allowed us to determine the electrochemical range of the potential corresponding to the formation of CdS. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that the CdS nanostructures has a polycrystalline nature and orthorhombic system and preferential orientation along the (420) plane. Surface morphological studies by (AFM and SEM) revealed the presence of nano-crystalline grains and all the deposited films have almost uniform grain size and well covered on the surface of the substrates. Composition analyses showed high stoichiometry, and the S/Cd atomic ratio is close to one. Optical studies showed that the average transmittance of the deposited films as a function of electrochemical parameters in the visible and near infrared regions is approximately (20–70)%, and the band gap ranged from (2.25 to 2.45) eV. The optical transmission of deposits varies randomly with increasing potential.

期刊介绍： Optical and Quantum Electronics provides an international forum for the publication of original research papers, tutorial reviews and letters in such fields as optical physics, optical engineering and optoelectronics. Special issues are published on topics of current interest. Optical and Quantum Electronics is published monthly. It is concerned with the technology and physics of optical systems, components and devices, i.e., with topics such as: optical fibres; semiconductor lasers and LEDs; light detection and imaging devices; nanophotonics; photonic integration and optoelectronic integrated circuits; silicon photonics; displays; optical communications from devices to systems; materials for photonics (e.g. semiconductors, glasses, graphene); the physics and simulation of optical devices and systems; nanotechnologies in photonics (including engineered nano-structures such as photonic crystals, sub-wavelength photonic structures, metamaterials, and plasmonics); advanced quantum and optoelectronic applications (e.g. quantum computing, memory and communications, quantum sensing and quantum dots); photonic sensors and bio-sensors; Terahertz phenomena; non-linear optics and ultrafast phenomena; green photonics.
